Orlinski, A. A. USS Bonhomme Richard and the Battle of Flamborough Head. Poland's Anna and Andy Orlinski, are known the world over for their historic maritime paintings boasting astounding detail and fire. In this monumental work, depicted is the USS Bonhomme Richard, captained by John Paul Jones, and the HMS Serapis in the four hour battle that saw Jones defy surrender and defeat by lashing two ships together and with his greater numbers in crew, force the British captain to surrender. The Bonhomme Richard, though shattered, on fire and leaking badly, sank 36 hours later. This oil on canvas measures 30" x 40", magnificently framed to 40" x 50". An impressive piece.
